    Default Who's using the A/C

    We've had ours running a few weeks. Started off just on hot days or to just cool the house down in the evenings. But this last week it's been hot...high 80's ..and it's been on a good bit.

    I do open windows on days when it's not to hot.

    Anyone else using the a/c yet?

    We've had ours on for a couple weeks, but turned it off since it's back in the 60's now. I swear this Ohio Valley Weather is soooo screwy! I try to use the AC because we all have allergies, and it helps out a lot. But I can't turn down time to turn it off and save $$$

    I had turned ours on briefly because it was 85 degrees in our house, and I can't sleep when it is that hot. It has cooled off a little, and is not sticky like it was so I turned it off. If I don't have to turn it on, I won't. But I can't stand it when it is too too hot in the house.

    I finally turned ours on May 10th (that afternoon). It just got too hot to tolerate the windows being open any longer.

    Ours has been on for a few weeks also. It just seems to go from cold to hot here with no in between. I would open the windows, but I am still afraid DD#2 will fall out through one of the upstairs screens. The safety factor of closed windows is worth the cost of A/C at this point!

    Ours has been on a few days. We try to just do fans & windows if it's not too bad. Today however we had to turn the heat on to knock the chill off. Stupid weather!

    Most days this month I have had the air and heat off but one day I did run the a/c and one day I did turn on the heat.

    No. It's still dropping into the 30's some nights. Heat is still being used on some days here.
